I hate Ireland. I hate him more today. Just another example of sending a quality player packing. This time it was for what? This is assinine. I'll go on record now and say this team won't win jack with this idiot calling the shots. I'm venting here a little but he is the sole reason for a lot of gaps on this team and he creates even more every time he does crap like this.

Seriously? I can't wait until the Dolphins are fishing the FA wire in November for a slot WR or promoting some guy who drops every 3rd ball. You don't win in the NFL by sending guys like Bess to other teams. I feel like I'm watching Dave Wannstedt running the Phins all over again. We'll be treated to endless press releases of how great our new slot guy is in the spring...right up until Sept when they'll pull a disappearing act. All I can say...soooo glad I cancelled my Directv last year. Best move I've made in years.

You are overvaluing Bess. 1 Td & I recall him running backwards several times & losing an already gotten 1st down. Like Bess, but he is not nearly what you sound like you are making him out to be.

Yes....I forgot the names of all those HOF QBs throwing to him. Wes Welker sucked in Miami too. Averaged 65catches out of the slot for 5 years. Sorry...make someone beat him out before you send him packing for the equivalent of a McDonald's Happy Meal.

Word is, Philbin and Bess didn't see eye to eye on things. Similar to Long/Dansby/Bush but on a much smaller scale. Also, the coaching staff wasn't pleased that he sat the final three games when they thought he was healthy enough to play.

Philbin's message is clear. Things aren't up for debate in Miami. You challenge him, you're gone.

How many stars always see eye-to-eye with their coach? At some point you have to learn to "coach" people into your system and way of thinking. You can have a bunch of young, talentless bots running around who ask how high on the way up when you say jump...and you might lose 16 games too.

Can't say I like the deal. But what's done is done. He's a Brown and we're moving on without him. With several guys already on the roster who can play in the slot, he was no longer needed. You could kind of see the writing on the wall when we signed Gibson.
